Snow, then sun in forecast for upcoming Timber Tour

Thank the ski gods for Wednesday because it'll produce most, if not all, of the new snow at Whistler Blackcomb this weekend.

Wednesday will bring an ultra-generous dump of new snow on the mountains, according to the Weather Network's ski report. Expect some wet snow, a high of two degrees and close to 20 centimetres of new snow Wednesday.

And then, count your blessings, as the rest of the week follows with little to no flurries. On Thursday, close to five centimetres is expected to fall, before a glorious-looking weekend.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday sun will beam down on skiers and boarders, though no new snow will fall. On Monday, Feb. 11, expect less than one centimetre on the slopes.

Sunny days will be welcome this weekend as the B.C. Freestyle Timber Tour brings nearly 200 young athletes and their families , including the B.C. Park and Pipe Mogul Team, to compete against their peers, Feb. 8 to 11. For more visit the website.
